Famous Old Palace No Stands. Paris, Dec. 7.~The last vestige of thee famous old palace -of St. Cloud has been removed by the. pulling down of the old railway station reserved for distinguished and royal visitors to the Emperor Napoleon 111 and the press Hugenie when in residence at St. Longer ud. The little station was thickly over grown with grass and weeds. Birds had built their nests in the imperial wait- grown up in the re space around the station. No train had stopped at it for thirty-seven years. Tha last occasion on which the station was used was on the morrow of the French declaration of war on Germany, when the officers of the Imperial Guard were conveyed by special train to lunch with the emperor. A few months later the magnificent old stone palace, which seemed des- tined to stand for centuries, had been reduced to a mass of smoking ruins by the bombardment from the sur rounding hills, : TO PAY FOR WATERWAY. Proposed Dollar Tax Barrel Brewed. Washington, Dec. 7.--An annual tax of 81 on every barrel of beer brewed in the United States for the creation of a 'permanent investment fund" of $50,000,000 yearly for the develop: ment of the country's waterways, is the proposal carried in a joint resolu- tion introduced in the house by Mr. Aecheson, of Pennsylvania. The pre amble asserts that the inadequacy of railroad trackage to handle the coun- try'w fast growing business points to waterways extension as the vital pre- requisite to state and national devel opment of resources, and recites that the revenue from proposed high license tax on beer should be applied annual ly. "not as an ordinary expense, but as a permanent investment.' on Every Palace Is Decaying Fast. Paris, Dec, 7--Some alarming state- mentments are made by a writer in the Echo de Paris concern the state of decay into which the Palace at Versailles has fallen. The annnal sum voted by the government is, declares, wholly inadequate for the proper upkeep of the once splendid chateau and park, and, in consegpence decay is rapidly overtaking the chief buildings. At the Petit Trignon, in particular, the state of ruin ls lamentable. The windows have disappeared frogn the queen's house the rool is leaky, and the rain, which thus finds its way in, is rotting away the floor. The walls | are mouldy from dampness, and it is | only a question of time whén, by reason of neglect, the whole place will fall into ruin. The fence, which surrounds the grounds of the Petit Trianon, is full of holes, and gives | access at night to scores of undesir- | able characters, who sleep in the | buildings. Chance For Teachers. Toronto, Dec. 7.~Teachers holding third-class certificates will not be cut off without a chance. The department of education has issued a circular which says a 'summer school of nor mal school standard will be opencl next summer for teachers with third. class certificates, whose success and ability is attested by their inspectors, At this summer school they may ohali- fy for second-class certificates. Furth. ermore, when a scarcity of teachers exists, third-class certificates many be renewed for recommendation of the in- spector, for a period not longer than 1909, Robert E Knowles' New Book.

"'Can- Bw: { ada," said the a ol ein, "is a land worth living in; more so any land of which I know." He cor dially re-echoed the sentiment of Sir John Macdonald, "A British subject I was bora, and a British subject I will ing-room, and lusty young trees had | die. First to respond to this important toast was M. J. Butler, deputy minis ter of railroads and canals. He first presented regrets from Hon. G. P, Graham, his principal, who, through stress of parliamentary business, was unable to leave Ottawa. Referring briefly to the various provinces of our dominion, he made special reference to the principal characteristics of each. In the system of goverament of Can- ada, we have, he considerod, the pur est form of democracy in the world. With such a country the supreme ques- tion is, what have we done to benefit from our opportunities ? Statistics proved that in trade, railroad con struction and earnings, canal building and 'extensions, the future of our country is one full of hope for all of us. The completion the na transcontinental railway will produce the greatest rail route of the world. Queen's University, he said, has ever taken a foremost place in producing men prominent in all the professibus. Prof. Watson, whose name was also coupled with this toast, said that al- though he was a Scotchman born, he was satisfied with Canada, was determined to remain. Ours is a tre mendous country physically, wonder- ful in its variety of features. Refer ring to the question of annexation with the United States, he had at first had that dream, but vow he felt that this had been the foolish dream of a youth. Canada is a country her- self, and has u destiny of its own. Her future we cannot tell, but judg- ing from the start we have made and the stock of which we are composed we will always be true to the great principles of humanity, and if at any time we should sever ourselves from the mother country it will be only af- ter a unanimous sion of peo- be | ble and resulting from no ou in fluence. Referring to the Japanese pro- blem, he con that when, our ooun has her eighty million or so of white population, it will be time enough to let in the yellow men to do the work we do not care to do. Prof. William Nicol was given a hearty reception on his rising to toast "Our University," his interest- ing remarks, consisting of a brief re view of the origin a wth of Queen's. The toast was duly honored, eliciting a brief but happy response from Prof. Jordan of the theological faculty, : "The faculty" was toasted in a loyal manner by F. L. Sine, timely responses being made by Profs. Good- win and/W. G. Miller. "The Profession" toasted by Prof. Brock was enthusiastically honored and championed by Prof. Mcleod, of McGill, Messrs. F. C. Loring, and J. B. Tyrell, mining engineers, of Toronto, "Sister Institutions" were kindly remembered with Frank Stidwell, as the spokesman for Queen's, i greetings to the tatives of other universities present. Prof. Por- tor, Messrs. Goldmark, C , An- derson and Collinson, returned best wishes to their hosts of the evening. The continued success of "Our Gra: duates," was toasted by Prof. Me Phail, Mayor Mowat and D. M. Me- Intvre making able responses. This concluded the toast list and the enjoyable event was uded shout midnight, with the national an- them and various of the college yells. Wanted Sheep Without Cotton. Henry Clews, the bapker and auth- or, was talking at the Union Club in New York about a certain financier : suspicious fellow I ever heard of. Tn fact, he reminds me of a Staff farmer, whenever he bought a flock of sheep, examined each sheep closely to Nuke, sure that it had no cotion in it." . 4 i Good News To The Ladies.
