EE -- -- mm Bishop Worrell, of Nova Scotia, has likened the ravages of the graft- ers in public life to those of the brown tail moth in orchards. The the simile is hard on the brown tail moth, It only does material harm. The grafter demoralizes as well as steals. The Cobalt carnival appears to have run its course. One of the most valuable assets possessed by the Province of On- tario is Police Magistrate Denison, of Toronto. about engaging on a larger scale the manufacture of stoves and fur- naces in which electricity will be employed exclusively, The British Parliament will be asked to make a grant of £50,000 to Lord Cromer, who did so much to put Egypt in the way of progress.

How Royal Speeches Are Devised. It is sometimes, but erroneously, de- clared that royal personages have their speeches written for them. Of courre no one supposes fhat the King's Bpeech in opening Parliament is His Majesty's own composition; it is well understood to be the work of his Ministers for the time being, and in it the King's English is often shamefully maltreated! But the tical oc- casions, such ag charitable dinners, laying of foundation-siones, and re- ceptions of addresses, are unquestion- ab! 0d his own devising. course, he has to be extremely careful in the expression of his personal opinions. ' Nevertheless, he has managed often to make phrases which "stick," of which, undoubtedly, the most notable is his famous saying about the pee: vention of disease; "If preventable, why not prevented'? These five sim- ple words, so full of blunt common- sense, seized the imagination of the nation, and no one can tell how wide- spread an effect they had in advano- ing the cause of public health. In his speeches at what may be called pure- y local functions, the King is very appy, and in com: ng these he is, H with all the local susceptibilities, which are often intensely keen. , it may be said that the King possesses one supreme virtue as a public Bpeaker-- he has never been known to try the patience of his audience, he'is never too long. It is an open secret that he does not himself like long sermons-- twenty minutes maximum--and he coud mot endure vi 3 DS eless, he a a ; really fine oratory, and nd often, when he was heir-apparent, to go to the House of Commons and listen to the great political 8 ers, Glad- stone, Disraeli, and John Bright. the implacable grasp of nature.
