the extent of $2,000,000 by a single frost, it is not so remarkable that frosts do damage in Manitoba.The Canadian Government emigration-agentg in Europe should store up à few of these facts for use in \u2018 case our friends across the line talk too much about the Canadian climate.THE views of business men published on Saturclay go to show that while 1586 maynot prove a wonderfully prosperous vear, it is almost impossible that it can be an unsatisfactory one.The majority of our own business men and of those .knew of her destitute condition who should be best qualitied to speak for the business men of other cities in Canada, hold that trade and finance are now 80 fairly settled into safe channels that no anxiety need he felt for the future, but rather everything expected from it.SATURDAY'S intense cold did not prevent seven members of the St.George's Snowshoe Club starting in their eross- miles or more across country on a day like Saturday\u2014it was ten degrees below zaro in the city about the time the run started \u2014needed pluck of no mean order, A number of other members of the St.George Club tramped out to Lachine.During the afternoon also some twenty members of the Tuque Bleu tramped out to Sault aux Recollets, while the city tobogganing slides were all largely patronized.Miss Marp MILLER's misfortunes are serving to advertise the Miller family almost as extensively as Mr.Joaquin Miller's poetry and eccentricities.The exact truth of the situation, as far as the-lady is concerned, is rather\u2019 obscure.In connection, however, with Miss Maud's affirmation in New York that her father and her husband in Chicago, but did not attempt to help her, we would rise to remark that it seems altogether unlikely that Joaquin Miller, who had so much sympathy for a stranger like Louis Riel, could have been indifferent about the welfare of his own daughter.The, best of people sometimes forget, howe er, that charity begins at home.Tir graduates of McGill who are agitating for an improvement in the law faculty will doubtless receive the support of the University's friends.In these times of keen competition when Toronto University with its large State endowment and Queen's with its indefatigable principal are effecting reforms in all departments, MeGill cannot afford to relax its energies for a moment.Its _ prestige will never save it, if any of its faculties are allowed to fall below the requirements of the day.The citizen benefactors whose generosity has largely made McGill what it is, will hardly regard with indifference the languishing condition of the law school, when only money is needed to establish it upon a firm footing.TH discussion in the States over the Fisheries question can not be very comforting to the Liberal papers which berated the Canadian Government last Summer because the Caiadian Government did not make something out of the United States Government over the lapse of the treaty arrangements.It is now quite evident that the United States fishermen do not want a treaty of any kind, and are not afraid of anything that can happen in the absence of an international understanding.It would have been hard indeed for the Canadian Government to have secured any concessions last Summer from the, United States in return for privileges which the United States appears to consider worth a good deal less than nothing.JupaIxa from an interview with dderman Hood, published by our es- Yemed contemporary the Herald, the proposed investigation into the condition of the Fire Department will come none too soon.The Chaimnan of the Fire Committee holds the Chief of the Brigade responsible for the short comings of the department, and makes the suggestive comment that no man who is competent for the position of Chief can be secured for the salary paid to the present incumbent.On the other hand if Chief Patton is not embarrassed by the unjustifiable interference of the committee in matters which ought to Le under his own control, he is the only hèad of à department in the City Hall who is not.In fact Alderman Hood expresses regret that the committee should have deprived the Chief of the power of selecting his own men.Whatever the causes of the Fire Brigade not being as eflicient as it might be, the sooner they are made known the better.Insurance premiums are quite high enough already without being advanced through incompetency among the officials of the Fire Brigade, or throughjthose officials being embarrassed by unsatisfactory equipment.,

interested to hear about the dolls and dresses, and the cats and kittens and pretty little tea-set and table, and wash-tub, and flat-iron, which should ail be hers in that new home in Ohio, The washstub, and flat-iron, and tea-set made her waver a little, till she glanced at bunchie, when, with a quivering lip, she suid: \u201cWhat good to have ever so many sings, aud Bunehie not w ith mie to sea me use the flat-iron and wash-tub, and sit at the other end of the table when I makes the tea?\u201d \u2018This was the ground she took.Bunchie would not be there to share her happiness and she did not swerve trom.it until her father appealed to her sense of right, and told her the real reason why she should go.Grandpa's house was very small, and he was voor.Grandma was sick, and Aunt Nanc

but she was persuaded at last to go because it was right, and God Would five her if she did, und take care of Bunchie and baby brother, and in the Summer she should come and see them in the old home; and so it was quite : setuled that Trixey was to go with eatrice; who felt mere-ard\u2014me: wisdom of the decision when that very afternoon she met Mrs.Hayden herself in Mrs, Morton's room, and had an opportunity of judging what manner of person she was, and what Trixey's chance for happiness would have been with her.She was a tall, la finely-formed woman, with great, b lack eyes, bush eyebrows, and a growth of hair abou her wide mouth which gave her a more masculine appearance even than did her figure and size, she 8 oke loudly and decide S Arg \"as well as to dictate the w ay \u2018of

her dressmaker was.To faded, plain Mrs, Morton she was- very patronizing and frank, and told her that what she wanted was fresh air, and cold baths, and oatmeal to bring her up again, while-her mother who \u201chad been sick so long, needed effort and energy.She could get up if she only thought t so.Nervous prostration was \u2018not a ease; it was a fancy, which, if indul in, would end in one\u2019s being bed-riddeh.\u201cI've made it a rule to guard against: nervousness in every form, and what is the result?I have never been sick a day in my life, and have no idea how it feels to have the headache, or the toothache or the backache, or in fact any ache, and that is the way it should be.\u201d She looked the woman never to have an ache or a pain, or if she had, to strangle it at once, and Beatrice shrank from her involuntarily as from an Aïma- zon, while \u2018poor, sick\u2019 Mrs.Morton co- Jored scarlet, and roused i in defence of her own ailments, which Mrs.Hayden seemed

to fall into er hands, Mrs.Hayden herself was not sorry, She had made the offer from a sense of duty, for she was high up in everything of that kind, and performed her duties rigidly, from dieting her husband, a weak, feeble man, on oatmeal and pearl.barley, to telling the neighbors th faults, and how th ley could amend them.She did not like children, and it cost her: something to make up her mind to have one in the house: but she had made the \u2018 offer, and meant to stand by it if it should be accepted, ding it convenient just then to visit New York, she had called on her poor relations to learn the result ef her offer, and when told \u201cfsgho the girl to wh Whom Theo w \u2018once engage ang who jilted him?\u201d re the \u2014 \u201cThey were engaged, but he liked her,\u201d

but she saw at a glance that Miss Belknap was somebody, and an im ors tant somebody, loo, and though stamp herself ag somebody, by Elking of her house ahd grounds Vind servants, and the watering:
