Sydsey Smith cut the following | from-a newspaper, and preserved it: "When you rise in the morning, form a resolution to make the day a happy one to a fellow creature. It is easily done; a left-off garment" to the man who needs it, a kind word to the sor- rowiul, an encouraging expression to the striving trifles in themselves light as air--will do at least for the twenty four hours. And you are young, depend upon it, it will tell when you are old; and if you are old, rest as sured, it will send you gently and happily down the stream of time to eternity. But the most simple arith- | metical sum, look at the result. Ii vou send one person, only one, hap- | pily through each day, that is 365 | days in the course of the year. And | supposing you live forty years only ai ter you commence that course of medi- | cine, you ' have made 14,600 beings happy, at all events for a time." ---------- Joke Didn't Work. 30 "Robson, do you know why you are | like a donkey ?"

Toronto, Jan. 17.--~The Ontario hoc key executive, at its meeting last night, restored 'the Royal military college club to membership, which had been forfeited by playing in Pittsburg, | Pa., against two expelled members off the O.H.A. It was poinged out that the defence that the match took place in foreign territory, was not sufficient, as the O.H.A. claims authority over its members, no matter where they may go. A resolution was adopted | condemning the practice of playing | seniors in intermediate games and then restoring them and playing them in| senior matches. The letter of the re gulation does not forbid this; but it is against the spirit of the game, and | the executive hope that the practice will not be generally followed. p---------- FRANCE INSISTS.

SIR THOMAS SHAUGH- NESSY STATES. IS NOTHING NEW IN 80 Consider the Elevation of Tracks in Chicago--Cause For Strength of Stocks--Suit for Damages and the Verdict. Montreal, Jan. | 17.~C. M. Hays, general manager of the C.P.R., has gone to New York, where a meeting is being held, by the interested roads; egarding the elevation of tracks lead ng into Chicago.- Besices represent ing the G.T.R. and the Grand Trunk Western, Mr. Hays also represents the Chicago Western and Indiana road, which is now controlled by the Grand Trunk. Sir Thomas | Shaughnessy, president of the C.P.R., was asked to-day ve garding the significance of the re ports coming from New York regard: ing the attitude of the C.P.R. to the worth-western combination. These re- ports attributed the strength in the price of the stock to the statements that the C.P.R. would not eater into the combination, ann that the de cision was of much importance to the earnings of the company. Sir Thomas said that there was nothing new in the: situation. Some time ago he stated that the combination would not affect the C.P.R., as the interests of the roads were not common; since then nothing new has developed, and he conld not prevent the circulation of those kind of stories. The suit taken by Mrs. H. Stevens against Ythe Canadian Pacific railway for 822,000 damages on account of the death of her husband, killed by the explosion of an emery wheel in the shops some time ago, was concluded to-day. Justice Doherty gave judg- ment granting the widow £4,000. The father and mother of the victim, who were joint plaintifis with the widow, receive $100 each.

Events, Ottawa A The new men selected for presidént Roosevelt's cabinet are very rich, and this fact has drawn attention to the necessity of cabinet ministers at Wash- { ington, being men of considerable pri | vate fortune. It is said that Mr. | Gage had to spend $100,000 a year in | excess of his salary, ana that other | cabinet ministers have had to spewd large sums in order to respond to the | demands of society. At Ottawa, the | cabinet ministers do not receive large enough salaries to maintain their po' sition properly. The trouble about any proposal to increase the amount | is that ameng an audience of farmers { an argument based on the hypothe sis that 87.000 a vear was a large sum would be very generally accept ed, and the same thing is true of the laboring classes in the cities, but this does not alter the fact. that the sum is small and inadequate. The prime minister receives $1,000 more than his colleagues, and this, with the session a! indemnity, makes altogether 89.000 f he received £20,000, and his col leagues £15,000, it would be more in ccord with the dignity and responsibil itv of their positions, and would en- | able them to be more independent. As it is, the people and parliament of | Canada simply put a premium on in trigue and individual "deals'" in al lowing these salaries to remain as small as they are. + Soldier's Invention. Maj. Dipping-Hepenstall {irreverent brother officers call him Hopping Step-it-all) is diminutive (says the Week End); be is a brilliantly clever man, and a mechanical genius. Whilst stationed at Halifax, Nova Scotia, he invented an electrical apparatus for | firing the mid-day gun at the Glacis barracks, and in his quarters was a | clockwork machine in which the duke {of York, who, as prince George wns at Halifax in command of the Thrush, took the greatest interest. This wa- | chine was popularly reputed to wake | the major up, throw him out of bed, bath, dry and shave him, whilst sim- ultaneously performing such minor du- tice as making a cup of tea, voiling an egg, and blacking the alter which it dressed him, brushed his hair, curled his moustache, scental his handkerchief, and finally threw him | downstairs in 'time for varwle. An | element of exnggeration 'may have crept into these statements, Lut the machine undoubtedly existed, and pro- bably exists to this day. boots, Canadian Savings Deposits.
