Add to this the fact that twenty six hundred freight and passenger trains daily arrive. and -de- 'part' from the north and south sta- tions, and you will have some idea of the rush. The south station is the largest steam terminal and the Sulli- van Square the largest (electric) and most complete in the world. During the coal famine all kinds of soft coal and. even slate were' brought and the atmosphere over the city was full of soot, and in short we thought we were in London. Ladies complained of soiled and blackened garments in vain. On April 1st the authorities banish all soft coal. The ladies will 'then come out in gala dress and East- er bonnets.

We will close this idea with another illus- tration of our versatile mental pabu- lan. It is said that there are thirty societies which have' originated from readings, etc., yet neither they, nor hristion Sgience support any hospi- tal. « Boston Common is being sown with oats and top dressed with the best nitrates. Many of the oldest English elms, 'which like' Dean Swift have be- come bald atop, are being cut down. Superintendent Doogue has been au. thorized to spend $10,000 in fertiliz- ing, draining, and beautifying our for- ty-acre cow pasture.

It costs six cents to manufacture a yard of cotton in New England, but only four in the southern states. The own- ers claim they eanmot afford a ten per cent. advance in wages.

Kingston. Toronto Mail and Empire. James C. Stewart js 'Charlie Ban non," of "Calumet K." Anyone who bas read the fine story by Merwin: history of the great engineer manager, must be struck with resemblance between the hero of the book and the man of flesh-and blood. The feats Yormed by the have been equalled and even surpassed by the other: Tt would be a most re markable coincidence of the joint au thors of "Calumet K" have not stu- died Stewart's career when preparing their book. In that case, instead of being identical, the men would only be doubles, A brief biography of Mr, Stewart should be doubly interesting to Cenadians, for he was born at Kingston, and his mother, also a na- tive of that district, resides there at present. Mr. Stewart's father was bora in Scotland in 1820, emigrated to this country at the age of eigh- teen, and lived here for twentyseven years. In 1865, when James was eom- paratively y , the family removed to Bt. Louis\ The United States is proud te claim him as her own, and m England, where his latest Srinmpby have been won, he has heen ed "Yankee." As a matter of fact he is composite Scotch, Canadian, Missoury ian, and a type of success. r---------- Glenburnie's New Church.

Storey supplied the plans, and is the stipervising architect. "Hunting For Hawkins." ' The merry comedy, "Hunting For Hawkins," will be offered at the Grand on Thursday next, and should prove a strong "drawing card." 'Aside from the fact that the farce itself has made a most substantial "hit," and is conceded to be oné of the cleverest that has been produced in nrécent years, the entire company engaged for its presentation is unusually well-bal- anced and capable, which assureq an entirely enjoyable performance.

Mr. Derby- shire spoke about the necessity of holding meetings among the patrons and getting shem interested in 'the work of improvements and the bene- fits accruing in the way of up-to-date factories and qualified makers. In tak- "Jing a course in the school, the object was to get the best ideas and put . j them into practice. It was really dis- tregsing , he said, to find that as- sociation's funds were so limited for the amount of work to be done. In allotting the territory to instructors the association would try and put in- structors in the districts where they would do the best work. In 'some tas- interested in factories, and it was therefore advisable to give them a territory free from all friction which wight arise on account of - competition for milk. r. Derbyshire took the stand that while makers should be qualified to test milk, the instructors "should © not neglect this important matter. The instructors must stand shoulder to shoulder to uphold and improve the quality of Canadian Cheese, R. G. Murphy, secretary of the as- sociation, spoke about the great res." ponsibility that makers had in fac tories, and the greater responsibility the instructors would have. Canada's cheese apwits are now valued at ah out $21,000,000, and the work of keeping 'up the quality of the cheese rests largely upon the men who are instructors. An ipstructor can build up or destroy the work of a factory. He must not only be a good cheese. maker, but he must be 2 man of tact, good judgment and have. a still tongue. Mr. Murphy encouraged: the instructors to work-to secure the best results in each of their syndicates or districts, so that the great reputation Canadian cheese had would be still further enhanced. If they stood by the association, the benefits would be theirs. ' Mr. Publow, who will be at the head of the whole system, stated that one. great necessity was uniformity in quality, in size and in-stgle of cheese. He mentioned different things that in Tsctors would be upon to do. Blanks would be furnished, and they would be expected to make a report to him of every visit paid to each fac tory. Then he could keep in close touch with the work. He expected to visit each factory himself. It was his intention to hold meetings of the pat rons in central places. The instructors, he said, should not find fault with factories. It was their duty to report facts,.and to quietly advise the maker things that were not satisfactory. Their report to the heat" instructor could be dealt with. No information that would injure a fagtory should be iven to those not concerned. Mr. ublow told the instructors to keep in touch with buyers; and act upon their suggestions. In rting the quality of the cheese, he advised them to report on the conditions surround ing the factory as well, Mr. Derbyshire emphasized: the fact that instructors should not hesitate to get rid of poor makers who are a curse to the cheese industry, The fac- tories can now afford to fave only A vote of tha was tendered to Messrs. Derbyshire and Murphy for {he service they have the cheese industry. in eastern Ontafio. The can't take a joke like me | not thin-gkinned.
