At its best it is magnificent, meaner as you reach downward, and when you get to the lowest--the yellow kind--mean as dirt. The newspaper is neither betféer nor | worse than public sentiment, for it is the mirror of that sentiment. One may correctly guage the moral char- acter of a community by the tone of its papers: This is the candid philoso- phy of an American preacher. Wonder how he would classify Kingston as a community, judged by its journals. The analysis would be highly interest- ing and might explain some publié peculiarities. ' THE MILITIA LAND GRANTS.

"h AFTER MANY YEARS A Stanstead Man Is Arrested On a Charge ot Forgery. Sherbrooke, Quel, Aug. 16.--Seven years ago a complaint was lodged by the manager oi the Eastern Town- ships baal at Stanstead, against Claude Hovey, Barnston, for forging a chejue for $100. Before the warrant for his arrest could be served Hovey escaped across the line, and for a - couple of years nothing more was heard of him. At the end of that time word 'was receivéd that 'the accused had died in Manchester, N'H. His wife and family went into mourning, and the authorities had every rcason to believe that the report was correct. On Wednesday evening High Constable Moe wag informed that 'the supposel dead man had returned to the bosom of his family, and on proceeding to Barnston, arrested Hovev at his home on a charge of forgerv. From what can be learnel Hovev worked in Man- chester, N.H., and New York for four vears after escaping from Canada, and three vears ago went to Sputh Afri- ' ca, where he 'served in the Boer war "in the British army. Hovey has a wife and four children. LIKELY A SETTLEMENT. Concerning Inland Navigation In |' . China, Shanghai, Aug. 15.--There is prospect of an early settlement of the controversy between the British. and Chinese treaty commissions concern- ing inland navigation. China has agreed to foster inland trade and so * states in the treaty. The rules and re- gulations governing this inland trade have not been made. part of treaty, but have added to the existing rules made four years ago by the Chinese foreign office and the British minister. No edict_has as vet been issued sanc- tioning - proposed tarifi amendments. On Alarming Medical Report Deafness. a late meeting of the Otological Society of Great Britain an eminent aurist made the startlipg® report that 'out of 1,000 school children he found 520 afflicted by. defective hearing. An- i other medical man also stated that he i had detected a similar proportion of { deaf children' out of 200 examined in a Liverpool school. With such an alarming proportion of deaf people 'growing up in our midst it is most important to call public atteation to the necessity for detecting the begin- ning of defective hearing. 'The medical profession in general are doing all they can in this direction, but it has remained for the Drouet Institute to sweep away the scientific verbiage with which aurists have surrounded the investigation of ear diseases and to give publicity to a description, in plain words, of simple tests of the hearing that enable anyone to detect the slightest degrec of deafness. This description, with much valuable in- formation, on_the prevention of ear diseases, the care of the ears and op- inions on the curability of deafness, have been embodied by the Drouet in- stitute in "The Journal for the Deaf," which is issued quarterly. This publication, which is devoted entirely to the interests of those who are afflicted by deafness, or by anv diseases of the ear, nose, or throat, can be obtained free by past by ad- dressing the secretary, Drouet Insti- ! tute, 72, Regent's Park Road, Prim- rose-hill, N.W., London, England.
