This was 8 terrible disaster and cust the lives of mote than 80 men--the exact number being unknown--ol whom were Indias of the Caughoawaga tribe employed as workmen. The fin ancial loss, which fell chiefly upon the Government, amounted to about 33. 500,000.

Mr. Algernon Edward Aspinall, see. retary of the West Indian Commitiee in London, who is about to visis Cana da, is one of an energetic coter.e of A Tiger Marriage. When a Coorg shoots a tiger, it is believed that he will not dare tw touch the dead animal, lest it should again come to life and spring upon him. The person who touches th tiger, therefore gets credit for hi bravery, the toucher being regard as the bridegroom and the shooter as the bride. The tiger is brought from the place where it was shot, amidst loud shouts and the firing of guns, to the village plain. There it is made to stand with the help of poles, and is skinned | By this time the rumor has spread: like wildfire, and invitations for the *wedding" are sent out. The skin is then brought home, and} the hero and his co-hero are bathed 'and dressed according to the fashion for a wedding, and are seated on the, three-legged stool for the "Muhur- tam." Their relatives give milk to, and put rice on them, the signs of prosperity and wealth, and give presents of money. 1 During the time of the Coorg rajahs, a tiger shooter was regarded withi respect and honor, and he alone was eligible to grow whiskers. --Madras; Christian Patriot. ! ------------ Devil Bird of Caylon. Of sil the awe.inspiring sounds) emitted by wild creatures, nome, it isi said, is to be compared to that of the; "devil-bird" of Ceylon, whose cry has' been likened to the scream of a hu! man being undergoing the most fright-: ful tortare. Naturalists have identi, fled this bird with the brown found in Hindustan. The natives of Ceylon regard the ery of this bird with superstitious horror, for, it is claimed, its scream heard at night presages the mogt dire mis- fortunes. ; A British official of the Ceylon evil service has given some study to this curious bird, Its ordinary note, he states, is a magnificent clear shout like that of a human being heard at a great distance, and produ a fine effect in the silence of the t. Bit the sounds that Tiave earned for the bird its bad name, and which this officer reports he heard to per- fection but once, are said to be well- nigh indescribable, the most appal- ling that can be imagined, and scarce ly to be heard without a shudder. It has been compared to the eries of a boy in torture, whose 'Screaiiis are be- ing stopped by strungulation. ---------- Nicknames For London Papers. Nicknames for newspapers have gone out of favor. While The Times was formerly Granny and afterward the Thunderer, the Morning Post used to be known as Jeames, that generic names for flunkies Seiag shastiad to it in allusion to specialigution on society « When the Morning Herald snd Standard had the same proprietor and to a largé extent the same staff and used to appeal to each other as inde pendent authorities, they were famil- iarly known as Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Gamp. The j Advertiser, as the orgsn of trade, has at various times been di the Barrel Organ, the Tap Tub andthe Gin and Gospel London Chronicle. : exceptional efforts to improve the trade conditions of the British West Indian Islands, Mr. Aspiuall has held official position in several of the West Indian ecalonies. He is in his fortieth year, and is a man of pecul- iarly energetic temperament. His fav. orite recreation is mountain climbing and walking in Switzerland, and he is not :atisfied if he cannot break time records whether in walking or climbing. When he returned to Eng- land from the West Indies he delib- erately set out to work up a West India advancement party, and he threw into the "work all the energy which had made his name famous in the Alps. He first published a pocket guide to the West Indies which at once resulted iu a marked increase in tourist travel from Eng. od, and iu fused new life inte the orgunizations having the weltare of the British West Indies at heart. In 1808 he was elect ed secretary to the West India Com- mittee, and shortly afterwards was ap poined secretary of the West India Club. About the same time he was elected a member of the council of she British Colton Growing As:ocis- tion. A favorite project of Mr. Aspi- nall is a sort of commercial union be- tween the whole of the British posses. sions on this side of the Atlantic, in- cluding the West Indies, British Gu jana. British Hondaras and Canada, and it is believed that his approach. ing visit has something to do with this plan. Looking For Harbor. Prof. L. C. Ellis, head of the T. & N. O. Railway Co.'s exploration par: ty, has just returned to Ottawa and he will hand his data, ete, over Ww the commission at Toronto, shortly. The party examined the iron depos- its as well as agricultural possibilities on the Ontario shore of James Bay. So far, Prof. Ellis has made no statement, but it is understood that the principal sim of the party. was to ascertain what possibilities thers are for an Ontario harbor. on the southern shore of James Bay. They examined the country from Cochrane north alo the Mattagami, Ground Hog and Moose rivers. The estuaries of the Moose at James Bay were ex- amined closely for the purpuse of as. certaining silt deposits. Municipal Ownership. Western Canada is nothing if not progressive, and in no field does the | progressive spirit show itself as in the realm of municipal government. The most conservative facticn in a western Canadian city would in the oldet countries be considered radical, it hop Soeialistie. ie. Neflrly all western cities own their own walerworks systems, the major ity of them their own electric light and power systems, and more than one ety its own telephone system. In ' Alberta the telephone system is own- ed by the province, and so the neces . sity. of ownership of this utility by * the municipalities has been to all in. tents and purposes obviated. £ bo A wan's patas are due to bad: duck and his gaing to his good judgment ? #0 he thi be fe | A woman is happy with a new ry two snd happiest being built the banks of the St. Law- | Englishmen of affairs who are making | hat} with LLOYD-SEORGE ON CANADA, What the British Chancellor Saw Here Ten Years Ago. : in view of the widespread attention which Canada is now attracting among all classes in Great Britain, says The Standard of Empire--the investor, the prospective emigrant, the sporisman, and -the tourist--and also of the ap proaching Imperial Conference, a cor- respondent draws attention to an in- teresting fact. Among the public men of Cabinet rank of this country who have visited Canada and have borne witness to its suitability for the set. tlement of the British race is to be numbered the present Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ten years ago Mr. Lioyd-George formed one of a pariy of three delegates from Wales who were invited by the Canadian Gov. ernment to visit the Dominion, snd. we take from a copy of a report sub- sequently published the following opinions recorded by the right hon. gentlemen and his friends: wi 3 "The greater portion of our time was spent in Manitoba, the Northwest Provinces, and British Columbia. The agricultural districts visited were Brandon and Rapid City, in Mani. toba; and Whitewood, Cannington Manor, the Moose Mountain, and the unsettled portion north and west of it; and Regina, in Assiniboia. The samples we saw of the 'No. 1 Mani- toba hard' wheat convinced us that there is no country better adapted: fot grain growing. . « Of the coun- try which we actually saw we can- not speak too highly. These districts offer great and generous inducements to settlers. The land yields good' crops without the necessity of manur- ing. Taxes are light, laws are equit- able, administration is Jere. institu, tions are free and liberal, educational facilities are excellent (a school be- ing provided by Government in every: settled district within three miles of | furthest homestead), railways are en- terprising (in fact, the energy aud public spirit of all the railway com anies, from the Canadian Pacific ailway downwards struck us as be- ing one of the most remarkable fea tures in the development of Canada). "We may add that we purposely avoided the parts of the country which are the best settled, e.g., Portage-la- Prairie and Indian Head, and gener- ally the oldest established districts in Manitoba, We found the settlers | everywhere pleased wit their own | immediate district, which was almost invariably described as the best in Canada. . We can only recall to mi one settler who was dissatisfied wi his bargain. Life -in Canada, sai this gentleman, combined all the characteristics of penal servitude) viz., transportation, solitary confine, ment, and hard labor. jo subse quently discovered that this gentle: man had recently been dismissed from his post. . . .

Coal and iron ore, gold and copper, silver and lead, mica and marble--there seems to be no limit ¥ the marvellous natural wealth of the country.

Suddenly the wind veered round to { the west, and the much desired "chi- | nook" blew over the plaing, raising the temperature over 50 or 60 degrees. The change wrought by a chinook is almost as marked upon people as upon the temperature. Fur coats and caps are discarded, everybody wears a smile, and while the chinook lasts you seem to be transported to another clime. In a few minutes a great body of cold air, with a temperatdre of 15 degrees below zero; mes the warm chinook that has stolen in overnight. The immediate effect is a dense icy mist, wrapping everything as in a frozen cloud.
