Mr. Crummy - Christians Should Support the Referen- dum. The meeting held in the lecture hal of Queen street Methodist church last evening was of g high order, and the addressees which were both interesting and ingtructive were listened to with great attention. The pastor of the church, Rev. J. C. Anthifi, DD, presided, and after devetional exercis ¢s he read the paragraphs from the discipline of the church, relating tc temperance. In view of the action of the provincial government in arrang ing for a referendum re its lionor hill, he urged that fiends of temperance needed to bestir themselves He then introduced Mrs. MeCallum, president of the Kingston W.C.T.U., who spoke vn the evils of the drink wafic as shown by the fact that in England 160,000 children were suffering terrible hardship because of drunken parents, and every year 30,000 qnembers were lost to the christian churches, In Canada, it is said, onefourth of the boys in the public schools were gecus meg to take alcoholic drinks, and in the Toronto schools eighty per cent' of the boys smoked cigareties In Canada three thousand dic annually, whose deaths are the direct results of drunkenness. Mrs. MeCallum urged the meod of children being taught the injurious effects of drinking and smok ing, and this especially by medical wen, whose words bad great weight with young persons 'she further in heated the danger of luxury, which arises from the increased wealth of the people, agd said that parents should ch their children the import ant fe of self-denial, Dr. Lake then addressed the meeting dealing especially with the influence of heredity. He gave instances of the awful eficcts of the drinking habits of parents on their offspring. He believ ed that personal responsibility was not duly recognized, nor the power of example, He urged that the custom of "treating" should he discounten anced and abolished; and that chris tian people should not compromise with evil; but at all risks dare to do right. The lakt speaker of the evening was Rev. E. Crummy, who dealt with the subject from the standpoint of poli tics, He said he had grave fears as to the result of the referendum, ox it would need a much larger vote than wak secured some years ago when the plebiscite was carried, and that vote was proclaimed a wonderful showing for temperance, He said it wos estimated that there were about 20,000 voters who were so interested in the lignor business that they would vote for either political party that would befriend their business, and if 25,000 temperance voters would lay aside their political partizanship and cast their solid vote for prohibition, the politician, after one or two elec tions would respect their wishes. He held that the political difictence be tween the two parties were compara tively insignificant, for they agreed to the extent of about ninety per eent., «o that the difference being so small, the temperance people could afford to make prohibition the great Isle, The chairman, in concluding the meeting, pointed out that the matter really gested in the hands of the pro fessing christians of the province, and if they would but recognize their yow er amd responsibility they could hy their votes free the province from the awful curse of intemperance. The re ferendum gave an opportunity that should "be used by 'every christian sYoler, A collection in aid of the temper ance work of the church was made, and the meeting closed with the bene diction by the Rev.

Madrid, April 2. ~The entire city is mn a state what is believed to have been an at- tempt to assassinate king Alfonzo. An unknown man was caught trying to penetrate the inner palace. He was arrested, and when questioned stated that his name was Pierre Maury and that he was a Frenchman. He had no passport and gave a contradictory ac count of himself. The government has appealed to the French embassy for aid in identifying the prisoner. It is stated that he was armed when caught. The police refuse to give any information. They display unusual agitation, Not A Case Of Smallpox. This worning there was a romor that a Frenchman aboard one of the T. company's barges had small pox.

Mr. Melntyre had two doctors examine the suspected man, but they both declared that he bad no smallpox.

Most Men Simpletons In Company Of Girls. Montreal Sun It ix the woman's fauli--always- bu, she never will admit it. Im memorial tradition has made man the woger ana woman the wooed, and. a man hunter any woman mey be, she keeps up the old fiction that she is not the bunter but the quarry. In certain savage tribes where mar riage i# frankly a bargain and sale-- in civilization,, of course, women are never bought and sold--and where the girl is given away by her father, in exchange for 50 many head of cat tle, the fiction still treasured. When the contract has been made, the price delivered, the' groom and some of his friends raid the contract hous of the bride's father by night. The bride and her father make a pretend ed resistance, but the groom is the stronger, of course, and the girl is carried away in the arms of her tn umphant lover. After the fight, neo doubt, the bereaved parent visits his stables, slaps the new cattle on the flanks, and chuckles with pleasure in the knowledge that he has made an excellent trade, In civilized countries the father, after the marriage, is not only minus a daughter, but is con siderably out of pocket for expenses, and, in the old countries, for the girl's dowry; while he has nothing to show, in his stables or elsewhere, ior the girl or the money. From the father's point of view, therefore, civ ilization has not improved the wedding customs; but. how could any young man hope to marry if he had to pay an adequate price for the girl he lov 1m er Of course the thesis that woman is the real weoer will be disputed. She berseli, does not believe it, and she will mot be convinced of its truth: Nevertheless, the thesis is true. Men are expected to believe that, until surprised by a proposal, the in nocent young objects of their love never even dreamed of a husband and certainly never tried to catch ome. Of course men are aware that every girl, even she who vows that she will live and die an old maid, dresses as pret tily and makes herself as attractive as she ean, but men believe that girls would také just as many pains with their clothes and their manners if they dwelt in some convent where no eligible man entered. All the rib bons, the bonnets, the airs and graces the cosmetics, the toildtes and the varied charms of women are not traps set for men, not incitements to court ship, not signals to possible husbands, but are merely women's natural striv ing to realize their ideal of beauty. This iz a pleasing theory, but it not supported by the stubborn setters of theory and sentiment, facts, A woman attracts a man before he attracts her. No woman will deny that premise. But, since the woman does the first attracting, and since the attracting party the agressor, she must be the hunter and the man is up the ix the game, else there is a contradiction in terms. Some one may retort that the fox hunts the hounds, because, by attracting them, Reynard brings on the chase; but the analogy is defect ive, for the hounds pursue the jox with hostile purpose, the fox, when overtaken, does not lay his head on the dog's shoulders and say Yves," Most men are simpletons in the com pany of gifls, and a girl can almost propose to a man without his per ceiving that she is leading him to ward the altar. There are a thous and glances of the eves, tones of the voice, tosses of the head, curvings of the neck, smiles of the lips, and a myrid of other coquetries by which a woman can lodge a subtle stimulant in a man's breast, while he, poor ivi low, is quite as ignorant and uncon scious of the operation as if he wae a patient under ether and she a sw geon ripping open his ventricular cav ity and dropping a love potion inte his circulatory systeii.

THE RAJAH OF PATANI HAS BEEN SPIRITED AWAY, Several Stories Afloat About the Affair--The News Comes to Victoria, 'B.C., by the Last Mail Steamer. Victoria, B.C, April 24. There are several stories floating around the Or ient, according to mail advices re ceived here, of the kidnapping of the rajah of Patani by a Siamese official which is alleged to have occurred in February, but which, on account of the refusal of the government to ac cept dispatches regarding it at its relegraph | offices, was kep quiet un til a short time ago. One story is to the effect that the kidnapping was brought about by Mr. Annadale, a British explorer, who was desirous of seizing Patani for the British and ultimately by fomenting rebellion ir all of the Malay states. On the othei hand it is said that the rajah was arrested for intriguing with the Brit ish for the same purpose. The Malays are said to be frantic and serious trouble is looked for. FIRST "WORLD TRUST." Austrian Paper So Characterizes Steamship Combine. Vienna, April 24.~The comment here is generally adverse to the Morgan steamsHip combine. The Neues Weiner Journal charficterizes it as the first world trust, and says : "The interests of the entire world are opposed to America monopolizing the whole shipping traffic of the world or-using mivvmat navigation tode- velop its own export trade and serve its own political ends. The present or- ganization contains the root of a still closer combine, of which America will be the strongest member, not withstanding the fact that Germany is able to bring into the pool a hundred times the traffic, of America; yet the superior organized financial power of the Morgan syndicate will eventually give the United States supreme con trol."

"The beaver is really a sort of portable pulp mill, grinding up most any kind of wood that comes bis way. I once meas ured a white birch tree, twenty-two inches through, cut down by & beaver. A single beaver generally, if not always, amputates the tree, and when it comes down the whole family falls to and has a regular frolic with the bark and branches. A big beaver will bring dows a fair sized sapling---say, three inches through--in about two minutes and a large tree in about an hour, "One of the queerest facts about the beaver is the rapidity with which his long, chisel shaped teeth recover from an injury. I haye known beavers to break their teeth in biting a trap, and when I caught them again tem days afterward you eouldn't see a sign of the break--<he teeth had grown out to their former per fection in that short pesied. "As compared with the otter or mink, the beaver is a very slow swimmer. His front legs hang by his side, and he uses only his webbed hind feet for purposes of swimming. It is easy to caPture one in a canoe if you can find him in shoal wa- ter. He is a most determined fighter, but clamsy and easy to handle. If be could get hold of you with his teeth, he would almost take a leg off; so you want to watch him sharply, The place to grab him is by the tail. "The ability of a beaver to remain un- der water for a long time is really not so tough a problem as it looks. When the lake or pond is frozen over, a beaver will come to the under surface of the ice and expel his breath, so that it will form a wide, flat bubble. The air, coming in con- tact with the ice and water, is purified, and the beaver breathes it again. This operaticn he can repeat several times, "It almost takes a-burglar proof safe to hold a newly captured beaver. I once caught an old one and two kittens up the michi lake.

Soon after that 1 caught a big male beaver.

It used to be a rapture to go through the stables in the ioterval--down the long, sloping passages, with gas jets in wire cages-- and find oneself between the tails of countless piebald horses extending as far as the eye could reach. Here and there a glimpse might be caught of an acrobat or a clown or, more exquisite sight, of a fair equestrienne. The friendly, warm scent of those stables 1 can recall at this mo- ment. Now it is no more, It used to puff out into the street and act as a more at- tractive invitation to the passerby than any prismatic poster. And with it came muffled strains of the band and the crack of a whip, all combining in the late comer to work his anticipation to intensity.= Cornhili, Quoted the Bible, Several years ago a Baptist minister who was anxious to be appointed to = vacancy in a Georgia church went to one of the old residents and asked him what he should preach about in his trial ser mon. He was informed that a good topic would be the proper rearing of children, who in that section were greatly neglect: ed.

The Stone Tree. There is a tree whicli grows in Mexico enlled the "chijol," or stone tree. It is of enormous proportions, both in circumfer- ence and height. It has a number o branches spreading out widely and carry- ing leaves of a yellowish green calor. The wood is extremely tine and easily worked in a green state. It Is not given to either warping or splitting. The wonderful part about it is that after being cut the wood gets gradually harder, and in the course of a few years it is absolutely petrified, whether left in the open air or buried in the ground. From this timber houses can be built that would in a few years become completely fireproof and would last as though built of stone.
